Took a old Friend out
Posted By: Jimbo, 12-01-2009, 02:58 PM

Last week I headed to the Grey Cup [the US Super Bowl of Canada] in Calgary Alberta. Took off a a day and went fishing with a buddy and ended up just taking photo's. The old friend was my K10 and the Tamron 18-250 which all these photos [along with a few hundred more] were taken with. The Grey Cup was great up to the last three minutes where the West finally lost [time had run out when the final field goal went in for the win] Tough lost for around 40,000 Raider fans there and the other 3-4 million in the restg of Canada. Oh well, Hope you enjoy the photo;s. JIM

Wow, I think I'm living in the wrong place in the wintertime... Looks like I'm going to have to negotiate...

Beautiful images, without a doubt Jim! Hope all is well!

Dates are looming - coming soon.

Regards,
Marc

Some of your best stuff, man - an that's saying a hell of a lot. The second one grabs me - just terrific.

Are you doing something different in PP?

I think that is some of it but I also believe it is also getting much better right out of the camera. Thanks Jer. JIM
